Rayo Vallecano
- Iker Muniain returns from suspension and is expected to feature out on the left-hand side of the attack.
- Ibai Gomez is set to miss four to six weeks of action after a severe ankle sprain, with Inigo Cordoba and Markel Susaeta the options on the right.
- Oscar De Marcos will continue at right-back, with Ander Capa still sidelined due to injury.
- Alberto is expected to feature in goal for Rayo Vallecano ahead of Stole Dimitrievski.
- Tito should be asked to slot in at left-back, given that Alex Moreno is expected to be given more freedom on the left-hand side of midfield.
- Paco Jemez is expected to go with a central midfield three of Mario Suarez, Alvaro Medran and Jose Pozo.
3-2 Inaki Williams and R.D,T
@watfordAlbert - Not bad, 4 days beforehand! You usually do only 1-0 Inaki on every single Athletic match, aren't you? :)
@andrew7taylor yes bro ;)
@watfordAlbert With great power comes great responsibility.
